Apple Cake (With Whole Wheat flour)

An unanticipated holiday brought a surge of excitement. At
first, an outing to a nearby village was decided with long walks and bird
watching being the main charm of the trip. But then practicality dawned and it
was decided that a lot of pending chores would be finished. We shopped for kids’
winter wear and bought some more Pansy and Dahlia plants from the nursery
besides a lot of other odd jobs.

Market is flooded with apples. A bookmarked apple cake recipe
was waiting to happen. There couldn’t have been a better occasion to bake one. I
baked an Apple Cake with whole wheat flour.

The cake turned out delicious, loaded
with apple chunks, toasted walnuts and juicy raisins. Cinnamon added a lovely
flavour. The cake tasted really delectable and flavourful the next day.

Hello Shilpi, You may use flaxseed in place of eggs. For every egg, take 1 tablespoon of flaxmeal, add 3 tablespoons of water and whisk. let it sit for sometime. It will become creamy. Add this to your batter. However, you motivate me to bake an egg less apple cake. I shall try out one and will let you know. Thanks!

Hi, tried your recipe, yummy taste n texture, but it turned out bitter, is it due to the baking powder , was it too much? Or due to lemon juice on the apples? Also I had to add half cup milk as the batter was too thick. Pls advice.

Hello Simby, Your adding milk to get right consistency of batter was a wise step. Cake could be slightly bitter because of whole wheat flour. I would suggest that you follow the recipe link that I have given and bake it with all-purpose flour. It should clear the doubts. I hope you enjoy it this time. Love and best wishes!

Hello Binu, All I can think is may be the variety of the apples that makes a difference. As far as I remember, my cake was not soggy. Yes the apple pieces were moist and soft. If you enjoyed the cake then that was a happy ending I guess :)
